Miami Heat: Tyler Herro could legitimately lead the team in scoring
By Jack Simone
Miami Heat fans couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year than the one their team gave them. They came out ready to fight and ended up blowing out the Bucks 137-95 on opening night.
It was a great, all-around effort from the team, and nearly everyone on the roster scored a bucker. However, there was one player who stood out in particular – Tyler Herro.
After an explosive preseason campaign, Herro showed people that it wasn’t a fluke. He dropped 27 points vs. the Bucks and started his year off right.
With one great performance in the books, what’s in store for Herro this year? Could he legitimately lead the Miami Heat in the scoring column?

Why Tyler Herro could lead the Miami Heat in scoring: Best long-range shot creator
Tyler Herro possesses a skill that few other players on the Miami Heat have – the ability to create his own shot from range. Other players can do it, but Herro is subjectively the best at it.
Jimmy Butler can create his own shots with ease, but he’s not a true perimeter threat. There’s an argument for Kyle Lowry, but he’s more of a pass-first guy.
Herro is a bucket-getter through and through, and his range is always improving. If the Miami Heat need a bucket from behind the arc, he’s one of their top options.
Every team needs someone who can create their own shot from deep, and Herro projects to be that guy for Miami. That gives him a serious leg up in the scoring column.
